So, in December of 1988, the first 'YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND- HOLIDAY SHOW'. was held at the South Miami City Hall Chambers in South Dade, The show was also designed to help enhance the understanding of Multicultural awareness through the Arts and bridge the generation gap between Seniors and our Youth. Nearly 150 students participated through dance, music, drama, rap and modeling. For students that were not talented and just wanted to give a helping hand, they worked back stage, emcee the show or simply ushered Seniors. This showed their admiration and love for the seniors because they just wanted to be apart of this experience! The first program had a mere 300 seniors, but our Pre -Valentine Show this year, held at theDade County Auditorium on February 3, 1993, had 1,200 seniors to attend. This show has grown. Our youth from elementary, middle and senior high school have learned how to take special interest in our Seniors, which includes their Immediate family members as well as community neighbors during this critical time of the year. The senior's also really appreciate a chance to see Dade Counties best youth performers as well as some of their own! They also have a chance to exhibit their Arts and Crafts work in seven categories city wide and win prizes. Everyone waits in anticipation to find out who the Oldest Male and Female mobile Senior Citizens will be. M l Crowning them King and Queen for a Day.
